VMs (f80v) critter identified

[Linda]

I agree that we are probably dealing with a combination of factors. 
Some of the images are very badly drawn. They show a clear lack of skill. 

Are they from quire 13? If so please give examples.

But then on the other hand, proportions of the nymphs are rather consistent, and a trademark of bad artists (like children) is variable proportions. Various plant  drawings are relatively complex and well executed. 

I think there may be meaning in some of what may seem to be badly drawn.

Of some images I feel almost certain that they are exact copies. The Zodiac figures are clear candidates. Others almost certainly must be new compositions for the VM or its now lost source. But even in those there are so often echoes of other works, like Balneis.

That i can agree with, they seem different than the nymphs. I do think other works are referenced, and especially those which are known to be oft copied. 

The problem Voynich researchers/ theorists so often face is that a leap of interpretation is usually required to bridge the gap between VM and proposed source image.

Well for me the theory part is that it follows the world tour, but to me it looks more like a goat than a lamb, and although it fits better with my theory is not the reason i think it looks like an ibex, it just looks more like one, and has the added value of having a traditional reason for its head to be down.

For R Sale's theory i am not sure how the lamb falls in with it but it could be some of the same reasons as i think there is some merit to the idea, the connections to politics and religion of the area, or of the greater ecumene.
